Recording at high speed

摘要

The latest technical guidance and trends in the use of high-speed cameras. High-speed cameras are an integral part of flight testing. There are new developments entering the market constantly that are intended to ensure engineers are getting the most out of their products. "The uses of airborne high-speed cameras range from store separation tests and dump of supply tests, when the goods move out of the cargo bay, to recordings of moving parts in rotary wing aircraft," says Stephan Trost, CEO at AOS Technologies. "In general, they can be used to record all mechanical motion that is critical and needs in-depth slow-motion analysis of the event." Cameras can facilitate the detailed analysis of many different tests. According to Gene Nepomuceno, field applications engineer at Vision Research, the most common uses for high-speed cameras in flight testing are wind tunnel/aerodynamics tests, weapons separation, chase plane footage, component stress testing and on rocket sled test tracks.
